More distance for the golfing ladies
If you are looking for more distance, look no further! A majority of LPGA players (and some PGA players) do something at impact that helps generate more distance. The secret is in the footwork. The more you are up in the front of your feet at impact, the further you will hit the ball. Some players exaggerate this to the point that both heels are off the ground at impact. So, give this "Toe dance" a try and see if it doesn’t get you into the "Ball" game.
Proper Golf Equipment Plays a Large Role
As a golfer today, you are besieged by advertising campaigns to buy the newest golf equipment. Longer distance golf balls, massive driver heads, and longer shafts all create mass confusion as to what is best for you. The shaft is the heart of the golf club and is one of the six important club specifications. Each golfer has his or her own swing characteristics. You may have a favorite club in your set, a club that you hit really well and it just FEELS GOOD! The chances are excellent that you are dealing with a club that is close to your frequency. During a custom club fitting session, you will swing several clubs with different shaft frequencies, lengths, lie angles, materials, grip sizes, and grip materials. Proper club fitting can give you the consistency and distance you’ve been looking for. Once these club specifications are matched to your swing, you will experience maximum performance. With the right equipment, your game will improve dramatically, your handicap will be driven down, and you will enjoy the game more.
The Coach Is Always Right
There are so many opinions about how to play the game because a lot of it is personal preference. When you’re first learning, you’ll get a lot of information about a lot of preferences from many sources. This can be very confusing, especially if you still don’t have a solid understanding of the laws and principles pertaining to the game of golf. The Golf Business is a billion dollar industry of misinformation!
To avoid this confusion, make a commitment to follow your instructor’s recommendations until you feel you are well grounded in the basics which takes very little time. I have two rules regarding coaching golfers:
Rule Number 1: The coach is always right.
Rule Number 2: If the coach is wrong, reread rule Number 1.
"He was never defeated by the vicissitudes of the game."
